In 2018, after a significant increase in citizens and [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|nobles]] from German-speaking nations, [[Grand Duke Travis]] recognized the need for [[Westarctica]] to have an increased presence in international locations. As part of the effort to manage what was hoped to be a large network of international representatives and diplomats, the Grand Duke created the Foreign Ministry and appointed the [[Duke of Goldstream]] as the first Foreign Minister. He held this position until his resignation in February 2021. | In 2018, after a significant increase in citizens and [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|nobles]] from German-speaking nations, [[Grand Duke Travis]] recognized the need for [[Westarctica]] to have an increased presence in international locations.
